Question

A patient is supposed to receive a 1 1/3 mg of medication per kilogram of a wave is a patient weighs 87 kg how many milligrams of medication to the patient receive

Answer 1

Answer:

116 mg

Step-by-step explanation:

From the statement we have that a patient receives 1 1/3 mg of medicine per kilogram of his weight.

The first thing is to pass the mixed number 1 1/3 to a rational number, like this:

1 + 1/3 = 1.33

So it would be 1.33 mg of medicine per kg, if the patient weighs 87 kg, he should be given a total of:

1.33 * 87 = 116

A total of 116 mg should be given to that patient.
